Separate requirements for detection and perceptual stability of motion in interocular suppression

Abstract In interocular masking, a stimulus presented to one eye (the mask) is made stronger in order to suppress from awareness the target stimulus presented to the other eye. We investigated whether matching the features of the target and the mask would lead to more effective suppression (feature-...
